@cremieuxrecueil i had a coworker who was studying to become a teacher. i think he fits in this category. I don't know if my high school teachers fit, though.

Teachers average among the least intelligent university graduates. Little of what they 'learn' is even relevant to what they end up doing. In a given year, the lowest-scoring groups on the GRE, SAT, and ACT are usually those pursuing degrees in education.

@IntCyberDigest it's the Frunk You tray

‼️ You can't be serious. Ford is now charging 2026 Mustang Mach-E buyers $495 for the plastic tray that goes inside the frunk the car comes with.

@blacknredtext don't think i've seen one that let you actually zoom in or had high enough resolution for zooming to matter...

@GameorGrift @Pirat_Nation this is about sending a message to all devs that doing business with these people will not be tolerated.

@Pirat_Nation Okay now that's just retarded. If it's a good game and your complaint is that they consulted someone but you still enjoy the game then leaving negative reviews and shitting on the Dev is just troglodyte behavior. I can't stand the woke nonsense in gaming but this is dumb.

Slay the Spire 2 is facing backlash after players discovered Anita Sarkeesian listed as a consultant in the credits. Gamers are leaving negative Steam reviews, saying they regret buying the game and would not have purchased it if they knew. Some are requesting refunds while it is still in Early Access.

This integral is integral to our solution.

@CBSNews idiots all around

A rabid beaver attacked an 8-year-old boy who was fishing with his family at Lake Henry in Mahwah, New Jersey, this weekend. Police say the boy was bitten in the leg after the animal exited the water and charged him on shore.

@ThePrimeagen Ah reminds me of early 2000s internet popup hell.

I love efficiency of the modern system

@IterIntellectus going 'shopping' The equivalent of blowing all your money on mtx

what’s the female equivalent of a man playing video games?

i think the backrooms is probably the best to come out of recent internet horror. it plays on the same feeling of being lost deep in the wilderness; never knowing if you'll find the way out or get killed.

@SydSteyerhart They'll make their money back as fast as the payment processors can keep up. This is no ordinary game.

This game is going to bankrupt Rockstar. It has to sell roughly 13 million copies (at $80/each) just to break even. The rising cost in computer hardware has shrunk the potential market of those who even have the necessary specs to play it, and the writing is probably garbage.

😐 For that frequent occasion when you need to calculate the angular distance with your telescope of a flea on an aliens ass a few light years away.

@BludSquirrel @Jonathan_Blow @BurnZeZ Did you get hit by a tree?

@Jonathan_Blow @BurnZeZ The problem with hardcoding a value for PI is what happens when it changes? It's much better to use dependency injection so you can pass different implementations of DeterminePI() to the factory you're using dynamically.

C devs will break a piece off a number, shove it in a libc, then cry when they need the rest of the number.

Yes, let's ask the internet for advice. Nobody more knowledgeable than Redditors.

some people just deserve a pardon

There's a clay tablet with the founding charter of a 12-partner company on it. Twelve merchants pooled 33 pounds of gold to start the firm. The contract has the partner names, the starting capital, the profit split, and the penalty for cashing out early. The tablet is nearly 4,000 years old. It was found at a site called Kanesh, in central Turkey. Archaeologists have dug up 23,500 of these clay records there, most of them business documents: receipts, loan contracts, shipping orders, lawsuits. The houses they were stored in eventually burned. The fire baked the clay solid and preserved every record. The merchants came from Assur, in modern-day Iraq. They loaded donkeys with tin and cloth and walked them 1,000 kilometers across mountain passes to Kanesh, roughly the distance from New York to Atlanta. Each donkey carried about 180 pounds and the trip took two to three months. They came home with silver and gold. The company ran for twelve years under a merchant named Amur Ishtar. A third of the profits went back to the investors. Pull your share out early and the firm gave you four kilos of silver per kilo of gold, half the normal rate. Locked-up money was meant to stay locked up. That one company was just a tiny piece. The tablets show a complete economy with partners suing each other in commercial court, husbands writing home about prices, and wives writing back complaining the husband had been gone too long. A woman named Ahatum quietly lent silver to four different men over nine years. People bought up other people's loan documents and used them as collateral for new loans, the same thing Wall Street does today with mortgage-backed securities. One merchant got caught smuggling tin in his underwear to dodge a 10% import tax. In 2019, four economists from Harvard, Sciences Po, Chicago, and Virginia ran the tablet numbers through a gravity model, the math economists use today to predict how much two countries will trade based on size and distance. The Bronze Age numbers matched modern trade numbers almost exactly. Trade fell off with distance at nearly the same rate it does between countries today. The paper ran in the Quarterly Journal of Economics. There was no economic theory yet. The idea didn't even have a name. The word "capitalism" wouldn't be coined for another 3,800 years, and Adam Smith was 3,700 years away from writing a sentence about markets. Just a guy named Pushu-ken writing a clay tablet to his business partner about a shipment of cloth, and a woman in Assur recording who owed her how much silver. Capitalism was already there, doing its full job, almost four thousand years before anyone wrote down a theory of how it worked.

@Dexerto Hold on... We're getting word that the sky is indeed blue.

Fallout co-creator Tim Cain believes gaming fans often adopt streamers' opinions instead of forming their own "They're handed an opinion from the channel they're watching ... and then that person's opinion becomes their opinion"
